Then, other languages also use their own words to make new ones: in Russian, a neologism that has caught on is potolochnyj, which literally means "ceiling-ish" but refers to something poorly planned out, i.e., while gazing at the ceiling.
Pre-BMT baseline raw scores, means, SDs, ceiling and floor effects, and percent missing were calculated for each item within the PARimpact.
The mean ceiling altitude, in both flights, was 32 km corresponding to 10 g/cm2.
In patients treated with a hip resurfacing, the mean ceiling effect was 32% (CI: 12 52).
The mean FA concentration was 0.16 ppm (0.04 0.51) and the mean ceiling concentration was 1.14 ppm (0.18 2.93).
The mean proportion of missing values was highest for the Saphora-Psy questionnaire, which, however, showed the lowest mean ceiling effect.
The ceiling effect in the scores from the 1,324 respondents varied between the core items from 13.4% (item 17) to 67.4% (item 26), and the mean ceiling effect between the ten items was 29.5% (data not shown).
Mean FA exposure in the factory was 0.21 ppm (range 0.20 0.22) and the mean ceiling concentration was 0.52 ppm (0.003 1.04); since both values were based on only two samples, the data from the factory population cannot be considered robust.
The mean exposure in the laboratory employees was 0.28 ppm (0.05 0.51), based on 29 samples, and the mean ceiling concentration 2.52 ppm (0.02 5.02); the highest exposure was at macroscopic examinations by pathologists (Viegas et al. 2010).
In addition to the comparison of response rates, completion time, mean number of missing items and mean ceiling effect, we targeted our comparison on patients and asked them to answer ten evaluation questions about the questionnaire they had just completed.
"An unusual feature of the studio is its so-called cove ceiling, which means that both the ceiling itself and its juncture with all four walls are curved," said Max Ferro, a preservation architect based in Weare, N.H., who is a consultant in the renovation.
